Keen 1012771 - Braddock Mid WP

I have had a pair that I have worn for work for well over two years. I usually wear the souls off my shoes in one years. The original pair is still going strong; I wanted a back pair.

I have been buying these boots for 10 years, and I usually get 2-3 years out of them even in the toughest conditions. They hold up fine on construction sites, and in my experience they grip oily concrete better than purpose build non slip boots. The all leather design in the final success. Any other boot I have tried falls apart after 6 months to a year. These hold strong no matter what. And when I say these are water proof I mean it. My old pair when it was finally worn out after 3 years, the outsole was shredded and falling off, and some of the leather sewn seems were letting go, and they still didn’t let any water in when I walked through ankle deep water, boot completely submerged minus about an inch from the top, and not a drop of water came in. Only 2 things I will say is first if you work in an environment where oil and chemicals may get on your boots, make sure to use some sort of leather protection, chemicals will wreck the leather way faster. Not keens fault just a property of leather. Second, I find they run a little narrow. I don’t use wide shoes and I never have a problem but when I order these boots they rub against the outside of my foot just a little for the first couple weeks so I might recommend trying wide if your not sure. And not that this matters but I’ve never seen a better looking boot I mean the style is just great!

The only thing I would change, is to give me longer shoe laces. I like to double knot my laces and there is just barely enough length to do that. Otherwise, great fit out of the box!

I’ve purchased many pairs of Keen Braddocks over the years and swear by them. They are extremely comfortable right out of the box, warm and the inside stays amazingly dry. The last pair did have a lace loop rivet fail within the first month or two but the warranty claim process was fairly straightforward and I was provided a credit to cover a replacement pair. 👍🏽

While these steel toed boots are made for rugged work, I use them every day for walking and playing. They are a little heavier than my last pair, however in one week it’s not noticeable anymore.

My first pair of Keens lasted almost 10 years working in refineries and petrochemical plants, along with daily use as hiking boots. I flat wore them out. They were the most comfortable boots I have ever had. Finally the soles cracked through and leaked. But 10 years of hard wear... Now the new boots are very comfortable and just barely broken in, I expect they will last and provide several years of service as well. I really like these boots. One thing with these boots though is it might be a good idea to get a half-size larger than normal if available and go wide also because that is good advice. Mine are snug (real snug fit) at 11-wide but still comfortable. Any tighter fit, I would have to trade for a 12 since there are not 11.5 available (I think). Anyway, all is good and these will do fine.

I'm very glad they fixed the lace up eye holes. they always wear out before the shoe does.

Second pair of these, sixth pair of Keen boots. Extremely comfortable, like a hiking boot. Actually used my last pair as a hiking boot.
